Captain Kidd Songtext
von Ella Mae Morse

There was a guy who sailed the ocean
He used to make a big commotion
Doin′ the things the law forbade
The character was known as Captain Kidd
He'd sink a boat to get the jewelry
He wouldn′t stand for no tomfoolery
Nobody found the loot he hid
A lucky buccaneer was Captain Kidd

He used to mate with the skull and bones
To him it was a merry prank
And just to get a laugh from Davy Jones
He made his rival boogie-woogie off the plank
He got his kicks from playing pirate
Carried a gun and liked to fire it
Thought he was smart for what he did
But he was only kiddin', Captain Kidd


You'll never find his name
Up in the hall of fame
It was the strangest mystery of history
He never got nowhere
Being a hip corsair
But here′s a clue to how he met his Waterloo

One day he went and found a honey
She took the boy for all his money
Soon after that he flipped his lid
And finished up the tale of Captain Kidd

You′ll never find his name
Up in the hall of fame
It was the strangest mystery of history
He never got nowhere
Being a hip corsair
But here's a clue to how he met his Waterloo

One day he went and found a honey
She took the boy for all his money
Soon after that he flipped his lid
And finished up the tale of Captain Kidd
